Entitled manager doesn't believe my doctor's note, so I get her fired after getting hurt.

0:05.0

Tiny bit of pertinent information. In 2014, I had a C-section to bring my son into this world.

0:10.6

I was let go for my previous job because they didn't want the liability if something happened

0:15.1

to a pregnant woman on the job. I was rehired by a fast food company where I held my very first

0:20.1

job, which is not McDonald. It's a bit higher price than that, where you could find fried chicken,

0:25.2

a hot dog, and double cheeseburger at the same time. There will be no mention of my child's

0:29.7

father because he wasn't there for us. I lived with my eldest sister, who was more like a mom

0:34.4

to me, which is why she is mentioned in the story. She was the person I had with me when I had my

0:39.5

C-section. She has been there for every moment of my son's life. My doctor said if I was going to

0:43.8

go back to work, he recommended four to six weeks of healing time and rest. That I had to be put

1:04.8

700 from 5pm to 6pm. Of note, the only reason I was rehired was because the hiring manager

1:10.4

loved me to pieces. When I left the first time, she told me that I always had a job with her because

1:15.3

she loved my work ethic. She said that I was the best worker she had in years. Nobody ever picked

1:20.4

up extra shifts as quickly as I did. Nobody cared to learn as fast as I did. Since I had previous

1:25.8

job experience, they wanted me to work the lunch rush, but I begged them to let me work dinner.

1:30.5

Dinner would allow me to spend some quality time with my newborn and my sister who I lived with

1:35.2

would be home from her job to take care of my son while I worked. Now I started a month after

1:39.8

the C-section, right? Wrong. I started 2.5 weeks later. If I didn't, I couldn't be hired. I had
